Austin's Wonderful Day

Carol's French Angora buck BCG's Austin wins BISS in show B.

Austin also wins BISS in show C. 

Austin has a great time winning but his best time is not just winning, he loves ...

... to meet his lady friend Fleur...



... then having a good time with Fleur...

... then gets to chase a naked Claudina...

... more chasing...

... and catches up with Claudina...

... having fun with Claudina...

Austin considers this as the best day of his life.

Guess who is visiting? Charlie!!!   We have not seen him for two years.  
Charlie had a car accident that took him quite a while to recover.  It's so nice to see him as good as new.
 

Happy Angora people: Betty, Matt, Jill and Aaron.
 

Casey is showing off her new (old) breed: Satin Angora.
Casey had Satin Angora some 20 years ago but did not continue.  English Angora is always her first breed but the recent progress in Satin Angora got her interested again.   She got a pair from Sandra and the pair has produced a very nice litter of 6.   She is showing off her new breed.

The above photos were taken by Carolyn, thanks, Carolyn.

NCAG Show C Judging at Portola Valley

 

 

 

Show C judge is Bryan Shirk from Utah.  Bryan is originally from Michigan but recently moved to Utah. 
 

Bryan has all the French Angora chestnut seniors on the table.
 

The French Angora chestnut seniors look so much alike, ...
 

because they are all relatives, either siblings or cousins, ... they are all from the same family.
 

Bryan will have to make a decision on these French Angora that are almost the same, his final choice is the colored senior buck.

 

Bryan likes Casey's Satin Angora juniors.
